Moves by the corrupt to regain power through ignoble conspiracies are but daydreaming : President

President Maithripala Sirisena has stated that moves by those who stole the people’s money, made unlawful profits from state property and committed fraud, corruption and crimes when they were in power to come back will be daydreaming.

Those attempts which are based on the ignoble political conspiracies will never become a reality. The current government has implemented the required program for the country for future.

President Sirisena was speaking at the ceremony held to hand over the deeds of Ranaviru houses, under ‘Viru Sumithuru’ program of ‘Semata Sevana’ housing project.

In his address, President said: “When the current government is committed to build the national unity and reconciliation through permanent peace, some opportunist politicians are trying to spread disunity in the country. All Sri Lankans should get together to defeat those conspiracies.

He said he regrets about some media institutions which try to manipulate people’s opinion. “Those media institutions are criticizing government that ended the era when the journalists were assassinated, made to disappear and set fire on media stations and stand for media freedom, and strengthen them.

Minister Sajith Premadasa, State Defence Minister Ruwan Wijeywardena, Deputy Minister Indika Bandaranayake, Commanders of Tri-forces, Inspector General of Police, director General of Civil Security Force and the Chairperson of the Ranaviru Seva Authority Anoma Fonseka were among those participated in this occasion."
